The effect of X-irradiation on DNAase I hypersensitivity of SV40 minichromosomes within nuclei or free in solution was investigated. The susceptibility of the specific DNA sites in the control region of minichromosomes to DNAase I decreased in a dose dependent manner after irradiation of isolated nuclei. On the other hand, the irradiation of minichromosomes extracted from nuclei in 0.1 M NaCl-containing buffer almost did not affect the level of their hypersensitivity to DNAase I. This suggests that DNAase I hypersensitivity may be determined by two different mechanisms. One of them may be connected with elastic torsional strain within a fraction of minichromosomes and another seems to be determined by nucleosome free region. The first mechanism may be primarily responsible for the hypersensitivity of minichromosomes within nuclei. After irradiation of the intact cells, DNAase I hypersensitivity tested in nuclei substantially increased. This was connected with activation of endogeneous nucleases by X-irradiation which led to accumulation of single- and double-strand breaks superimposed to DNAase I induced breaks in the control region of SV40 DNA.
